I was mystified by these at first when I saw them while walking around my neighborhood in east london... embarrassed to realize that I hadn't noticed they were RT! I assumed they were a domestic program w/out thinking. Not to defend the home country overmuch, but free speech doesn't require me to sell you ad space. It only protects the rights of others to sell you ad space, and for you to buy it when you can get it.
